From the time child is old enough
to sit at the table, teach him the proper
use of the knife. fork and spoon. Never
allow a child to lean over the table,
habits such rs that will accompany him
all through life. He should be taught
to wait patiently until his elders are
seryed. 1t is very important to observe
these minor points. BY proper training
in the beginning parents are saved an
noyance and modification in the future.
At this age children should he dieted
rs carefully as when they were infants.
By this il is not meant that their diet
should consist solely of milk, by no
means; but do not fall into the error so
widely prevalent that children having
obtained their teeth are capable Of di-
gesting all manner of food. This is the
chief cause OF destruction OF life in
children between three and six years of
age. Their stomachs being totally un-
fitted for the rich food they are allowed
to cat. Potatoes, meat rice, oatmeal.
brown bread, ripe fruit and as much
milk as they can drink. is the proper
diet for children of that age.-Mrs.
Ellis L. Mumnsd, in Good H0usekeep-

The venerable woman still lives there

ans Has she any family? l believe
not. She had one son. who died in
1910, being then So years old. Her
maiden name was Marie Durand, and
she was married. when q mere child.
Her husband died. and she took q Sec

They lived at Auberive until 1914.
when the Austrian army invaded the
Isere country. Then she dressed in a

her husband was killed in q brawl. and
she slew his murderer. and then returned
to Auberive to spend her remaining years

able hut all alone, and has been able

sight has failed. 80 that she is no longer
able to thread her needle, and she has
for some time been too feeble TO leave

neighbor to attend TO her.
For more than ninety years she has

meat does not agree with her, and SO

priests no one knows. nor will she ex-
plain. Occasionally the cure of the
parish visits her, but ahe will not notice

second marriage, but she will not utter
a word in explanation of it. though

''You may depend upon it," said .
Rockland county farmer to New York
Tribune reporter recently, 1--WE will

year, the goose-bOne says So" The
goose-bone is accepted by many Rock
land county people as better authority
than Virgins or than their Hacken-
sack neighbor De Voc. In many farm
houses it will soon be found hanging
in the hall. and upon its predictions
some men place the fullest reliance.
The real prophetic bone. it is claimed.
can only be obtained from goose that
was Matched out in the spring, and the
goose must not be killed until the
Indian summer has passed away. A
bone taken from q goose Matched in
May last year has row of dots around
the keel of it indicating the tempera-
ture; and the darker the spots the cold
er the weather. 1t is claimed that the
marks dividing the bone indicate the
three winter months, December begin
ming at the front Those who have
read this years bone carefully, say it
indicates more regular weather than
that of last year, and not SO severe.
There will be many days during which
running water will freeze. The coolest
weather will occur during the first half
of January. and in that time there will
be several days of freezing. 1t will be
the severest part Of the whole season.
Near the point of the bone the discolOr-
alton is little heavy, thus showing that
the first day of winter will give proof
Of the seasons change.
January will be ushered in with cold,
and the cold will strengthen as the days
lengthen, the coolest day of the winter
being about January 8. The severe
weather will be brief, followed by ris-
ing temperature and heavy thaws, and
the last half of the month will see many
rains and SHOWS During February
there will not be any very cold weather,
but it will be a rather disagreeable
month. with SHOWS and rains. A few
cold days will be oil that February will
contribute to winter An early and
decided thaw is among the promises of
the bone. The February thaw will
overflow the mountain streams and
disastrous floods may be looked for.

Singular Discovery OF Gas.

When the artesan well at Amsdeli's
brewery was completed there was per-
ceived about the water slight indica-
tons of natural gas Nothing. how
ever. was thought Of the circumstances,
as the element was apparently not pres
ent in any considerable quantity. About
two weeks ago the flame of lamp
CHANGED to be brought in close proxi-
nifty with a stream of water direct from
the reservoir, when the attendant WAS
astonished to perceive the sudden ignit-
ing of considerable quantity of gas.
which burned clearly, and strongly for
few seconds, and could be relighted
every time the stream was turned on
from the faucet 1t was found that all
the water from the well. amounting to
about eighty barrels per hour, Is inn
pregnated with pure, odorless hydrogen
gas, which burns readily and gives a
bright blue flame. 1t is only necessary
to turn on a stream Of water in any
part Of the building and bring flame in
conjunction with 1t. when the volume
of gas liberated is sufficient to kindle
instantly into quick envelope of flame.
This is ali the more remarkable. since
the water is pumped into lofty reser-
voir before being distributed. and the
greater portion of the gas thus has an
opportunity and no doubt is permitted
to free itself That so much remains in
the supply of water distributed through
out the structure is certainly evidence
of the presence of gas in very consider
able quantities. Mr.. Amsdell states that
as the presence of gas had not been no.
ticed until after the earthquake, he was
led to associate the two facts, and
thought that perhaps pressure had
been opened by the CONFUSION connect
ing the shaft of the we'll with a natural
gas reservoir. The question of utilizing
the fluid for fuel purposes has not yet
been considered, as no tests have been
made to ascertain the exact or approx
mated volume of the gas, which it was
stated seems to be intermittent If the
supply is sufficiently large. it could be
used for fuel and illumination. and
would result in large saving to the
firm. The discovery of this vein in con-
nection with the one at Knowersville,
although both should prove too incon-
siderable to be of much value. is GER
tainly indubitable proof that underlying
the strata of this section there are large
deposits of valuable natural gas, which
only need to be properly tapped to revo-
lutionize the illuminating and fuel in
dustries of Albany aud its vicinage.-

William Marshsl's Discovery NJ y Simple
Method Of Transmitting Sound.

A sensational report was recently
circulated that telephone had been in
vented Dy an electrician in this city
which was not only vast Improvement
upon the Bell instrument but in prin-
ciple and detail in no wise conilicted
with the patents upon that costly and
Enonopolizing instrument Upon in
yestigatiOn this has been found to be
true, the instrument being the Marshall
telephone, invented by MIR. William
Marshall at No. University Building.
Washington square. Mr.. Marshall has
invented and obtained letters patent
upon telephone OF novel construction
and principle. using no magnet or dia-
phragm, and dependent for its acoustic
Interpretation of electric pulsations
upon the alternate cohering and separa-
ton of sheets OF ordinary tinfoiI and
paper arranged as a condenser. The
receiver may be used with the ordinary
telephone transmitter. and is construct
ed upon the general plan of what is
known as condenser, and consists OF
pile of leaves or tinfoil or other suitable
substance with insulating material in
terposed. the whole being perforated in
the middle and placed in layers pressed
together at the outer edge. To the eye
the receiver appears simply as a small
duodecimo volume of wrapping-paper
illustrated with tinfoil, the illustrations
being inserted between the pages. Be-
yond this there is nothing but plain
black-walnut handle, fashioned some
thing like the newspaper files in hotels.
10 this are attached a pair OF binding
screws serving to connect the alternate
leaves of tlnfOil to the line. The in
strument was to-day tested in every way
over resistance equal to that OF 200
miles of wire. and yielded entirely salts
factory results, and in volume, tone, and
distinctncss was immcasurably superior
to even the best of the Bell telephones
now in use.
The principle upon which this sur
prising telephone receiver works is en-
tirely novel and astonishingly simple.
No electromagnetic and no diaphram is
used. The tinfoil sheets of the condens-
or, arranged in alternate layers of polar
ity. form practically a compound cleo
troscope. the leaves of which being ex-
cited. by the induced currents, as des-
cribed. attract each other. On the ex-
citement ceasing the elasticity of the in
terposing paper causes a divergence.
The impulses in the Marshall telephone
system are exactly synchronous and in
unison with the acoustic vibrations OF
the transmitting operators voice. and
hence from acoustic waves in the re-
ceiver exactly similar to those affecting
the tran smitter. York Telegram.
